Can We Get a Subforum for Hats?

Masquatto · 11-02-2009, 07:23 PM

Maybe something like "Hats and Accessories" or something like that (to include the badge and anything similar that hasn't been released yet).

Substantial discussions were rare enough before hats came out. Now everything's just drowning in hat topics. This is worse than when everyone was posting unlock ideas for all the classes (way worse--those were at least about gameplay), and we made nine subforums for those.

And if this kind of topic's been posted before, sorry I missed it or didn't find it with my search; it was probably buried in hat topics. :/

Masquatto, as in the pretty good spy? Nice to meet you.

And good idea, leave the forum for stuff like...oh...I don't know....tips and tricks? OH GOD FORBID WE TALK ABOUT GAMEPLAY TIPS IN THE TF2 FORUM.

TF2 has gameplay?

I agree with this idea. Unfortunately with the incoming Billocaust there is just going to be more and more Hat threads. You make a legitimate thread and it gets berried within an hour whilst hat threads can last almost days.

Yes I know this thread is semi-hat related, but it is a suitable solution to a problem on the TF2 forums.

An hour? This thing bordered page 2 in under 3 minutes. :P

Usually it would last longer, but today it will border quite quickly due to the mass rage over the Bill hat (far out, didn't valve learn from the Halo incident).

Anyways, A hat sub-forum would be very useful as it means the forums would actually be useful again besides people whinging over hats. (Note: I don't care if you are poor & irish, get the ♥♥♥♥ over it, you whinging isn't going to solve anything).

Yeah, true. I guess we just need to have frequent bumpish posts to keep it on page one for tonight, huh?

CasperTheGhost · 11-02-2009, 08:00 PM

This is a genius idea and would make this particular forum slightly less annoying.
Keeping this bumped for you!

How can this thread contain both fail and win? It boggles the human mind.

Thexor · 11-02-2009, 08:04 PM

Oh goodie.

Instead of raging at morons posting about hats, we'd be raging at morons posting about hats in the wrong forum.

No offense, but it won't change anything. Inexperienced users don't know the subforums exist, and they post in the main forum. Experienced users know that nobody ever reads the subforums, and so they post in the main forum.

Squall Leonhart · 11-02-2009, 08:05 PM

Yes, because everyone uses the existent sub forums SOOOOOOOOOO MUCH

Masquatto · 11-02-2009, 08:09 PM

Putting the unlocks into new subforums definitely killed off a ton of the unlock topic overload. It didn't solve the problem entirely, obviously, but no one's expecting that, and I don't think there's denying that it definitely helped.

Squall Leonhart · 11-02-2009, 08:10 PM

If there was a class update, there would be mainly threads on the class update. The forums change depending on the newest news.

EtovaKala · 11-02-2009, 08:11 PM

Why do people make such a big deal out of these hats? I still have zero hats and I'm not complaining.
